A white-hat hacker discovered that Tesla isn't wiping data when it replaces old hardware in customers' vehicles, InsideEVs reported Sunday.
After purchasing the used hardware on eBay, the hacker was able to access previous owners' physical and email addresses, phone contacts and call history, and even Netflix session "cookies," according to InsideEVs. Some units had been smashed, suggesting Tesla technicians had unsuccessfully attempted to clear the data by physically damaging them, InsideEV reported. This isn't the first privacy concern the hacker has unearthed in Tesla's technology, CNBC reported, while consumer watchdog group Which? found that other automakers' on-board computers are hackable as well. https://media.zenfs.com/EN/business_insider_articles_888/e290e0401374ccd04fe42d2ba17f5b13 + https://autos.yahoo.com/tesla-model-y-buyers-reporting-200000115.html Tesla Model Y buyers are reporting paint-quality issues May 4, 2020 [Autoblog] ... discovered “very obvious paint issues” when he took delivery of his new Model Y, and especially after he took it to a Tesla Service Center, where it underwent more buffing and other supposed corrective work ... https://media.zenfs.com/en/autoblog_50/49d1e15e9688a24fa0840d59bcf6a9ff For EVLN EV-newswire posts view: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ https://mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
